Final Transformation Workout • Gold’s Gym, Venice Beach
July 24, 2009

The first transformation is officially complete. I finished strong with a killer leg workout at Gold’s Gym, in Venice Beach. It was fun to check out the mecca – really fantastic experience. But you and I know, it’s not about the name. It’s not about the place. It’s not about the history. It’s about you and the iron, and it always will be. But it was a meaningful visit for me, nonetheless.

It’s been a great ride, and it wasn’t easy. But you made the transformation a lot easier by making this blog a part of your daily routine, and sending in your stories, thoughts, ideas and support. If this blog is helping you now, good news, it’s going to get even better.

Take a look at the video, and pay special attention to the end. I want you to understand my feelings about where we are, and where we’re going. It’s about endless transformation, and you’re all invited. RSVP: comment board below.

– Kevin

Levrone Transformation • Final Picture From Week 8
July 26, 2009

Here it is. I wanted to get this up earlier – this pic was from the beginning of last week. I was hoping to put it up with a leg and back shot, but I never had a chance to get those done, so I’m putting this up now.

This pic is important because not only is it the last pic of the MASS transformation, it’s also the first pic for the DEFINITION transformation to come.

Starting tomorrow we’re going to get back to posting regularly, and we’ll be setting the stage for the definition transformation. I hope you all join me in getting more cut than you’ve ever been.

Levrone Definition Transformation, Day 1: Canyon Run • LevroneReport.com
July 28, 2009

OK, let’s get started. Right now I’m at 6% with calipers. Calipers can be misleading, the only real measure is the dunk tank. Given past experience I’m going to estimate that I’m at 8% actual body fat. I need to be at 3 or 3.5% to complete this next transformation. I’m giving myself 30 days.

Failure is not an option. When I know you’re watching, it’s like a blood oath, man. So keep watching, keep being vocal, and together we’ll get crazy shredded. I’m already visualizing it. Start seeing it right now.

I plan on training heavy but with higher reps. 12-15 reps, instead of 6-8 reps. Working the fast-twitch muscle, sculpting, losing fat and increasing conditioning and performance.

I’m going to be eating low carb, high protein. I’ll be sharing my diet weekly in the LevroneReport.com newsletter. I know you’re waiting on the MASS transformation nutritional info, and I’ll email that to you first, in the next few days. Thanks for your patience.

From the treadmill to the boxing ring and everything in between – I’m going to try out as many fat burning activities as possible. Starting with a 1.5 hour run in the canyon, below. This was a big workout – not for every day, more like twice a week. I wanted to start with a bang. Pick a safe, realistic goal that’s out of your comfort zone, and hit it. Let us know how you do. Seeing that you’re doing it too helps motivate me.

There might be a short service interruption later today or tomorrow as I switch the blog to a new server for more features and a forum. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. I hope you’re not, either. Out.

Levrone Transformation #2 • Abs
July 31st, 2009

Hey guys. There’s been a few minor changes to the blog and there will be more. I hope the switch didn’t throw any of you off too much, and thanks for your patience.

The forum is up and I’ll be fixing bugs and organizing forum sections over the next few days. The forum will be a home for your questions, thoughts, feelings, ideas.

I will be active on the forum. I’m not just another celebrity setting up a forum as a way to politely duck out of the conversation. I want to get to know you better and exchange ideas with you often.

The video below focuses on abs. You’ve been waiting for a long time for some Levrone-style abs instruction. Enjoy.

I hope you’re visualizing a clear picture of your soon-to-be ripped body. I know I am. If your were never quite able to chase down those elusive abs and cuts, this is your time. Use the magic of the blog, the power of the moment. I need to get shredded in 30 days and I’m taking you with me. Let’s do this.

Kevin

Levrone Transformation #2 • Park Workout
August 4th, 2009

We’ve got hundreds of signups on the forum. Still on the to do list is to break it up into sections and get on there daily to answer questions in a more efficient way than the comment threads. Sign up now and it’ll be up to speed before you know it.

The Levrone Insider Newsletter goes out TODAY. It contains my approach to nutrition during the MASS Transformation. It’s a simple, true rundown of the guidelines I followed and some thoughts about nutrition in general. I hope you find it useful.

I’m zigzagging around the country this week. The good news is the blog can be handled remotely. The bad news is that travel takes time and energy. I’m glad I had time to quickly get this park video up and I’ll do my best to check in every day and post whatever workouts I can manage on the go. It might get pretty creative. Out.

To Michael R, I hear you about wanting to join me on that run, that’s the whole point of this blog – strength in numbers. Seminar or training camp is in the future. But for now, if the blog can simulate a sense of partnership and accountability and give both of us incentive to push through, then it’s a success. Put in a good workout and know that I’m right there with you, bro. I know you guys have been more consistent and tenacious in your workouts as a result of this blog and I’m impressed by your commitment. Keep it up. Kevin, out.

Levrone Transformation #2 • Supersets – Shoulders & Chest
August 6th, 2009

Supersets are a great way to add intensity, overload the muscles and work the cardio all at once. Great for definition. In this video I’m doing three exercises with one muscle group (shoulder giant set) followed immediately by three of a another group (chest). So you can call it supersets of giant sets if you want to get technical. Always go from heavy to light when you do giant sets.

The important thing is not what you call it, but that you DO it. Working out like this demands tremendous intensity and endurance. It adds variety and can help you break through plateaus.

Keep in mind that what you’re seeing below is one uncut take of six exercises in a row. I went through the whole cycle of six FOUR TIMES. It ain’t easy, but I think you’re ready. If I can do it, you can, too. Let me know how it goes. Out

Busy week – still training.
August 11th, 2009

First order of business is to fill you in on the past few workouts. I’m behind on posting, but I can’t afford to get behind on training. It’s been going well, I’m more defined every day. It’s late – so I’ll be posting those programs tomorrow, along with some nutritional info.

I have some new videos planned for this week, too. I’ll be pushing the envelope and trying something new.

As trex257 said in the comments, I have been shooting scenes for a film and traveling quite a bit. I’m glad to be done with those fancy film cameras, and on to the simple hand-held video camera…

The camera that captures the truth, the pain, the commitment, the training. Where I feel most alive and in touch, and where I know I’m being seen and studied, where I know my efforts, my focus, my sacrifices, make a difference, to people who understand the call.

I’ve enjoyed checking out your forum posts. I’ll be posting more in the forum now that my schedule has calmed down.

Hang in there, I’m not going anywhere, this blog is my promise and my commitment, it keeps me on the path and motivates me just like it motivates you. Life may get in the way but I will always be back on LevroneReport.com, stronger, better, ready for growth.

– Kevin.

Levrone Transformation #2 • Obstacle Course
August 12th, 2009

It’s with great pleasure that I post a new video. Thanks for sticking around and waiting – means a lot to me. And to those of you who work hard the past week, way to work.

This obstacle course adds variety to the workout, it’s intense and works everything. Check back tomorrow for the boxing gym post. Let’s do this, stay with me, we got a few weeks left to get ripped.

I had a chance to go through the forum and add around ten or twelve comments. I like the energy you guys are bringing to the forum. I feel fortunate to have you here. Notta, I agree the forum template is a little narrow, I’ll get on that. SUPERMAN asked how often you can train abs. See my answer to that and other questions on the forum. Always feel free to question authority. Out.
